I am starting to hate this game so much, spend 50$ on it and just realised how all 100000 xp weapons are straigt upgrades.

It depends on your play style, they promote different styles but hardly any seem like a total upgrade all the time, it's dependant.

I.e. Bolt launcher - Total upgrade if you're a chaser, but if you're a capper? Nope.
X1 LMG - If you're outside mortaring a base? again, a massive upgrade, but if you're inside the Spinfusor is better.
Even the Tech thumper - Amazing indoors, but outdoors it'll lose out to the SMG.

I don't think there's a single weapon you can buy which is a complete upgrade in every situation over the stock ones.

Mirv isn't a straight upgrade at all as your damage is more spread, fusion mortar is better for bombarding the flag stand and use indoors.
Jackal is arguably worse than the Spinfusor, depends entirely on the situation again, and I'd say if you're outside harassing defenders then the Rhino is a more suitable choice.
Phase rifle is definitely not an upgrade, there's a reason all the comp snipers use the BXT1, especially considering that the Phase Rifles' crosshair is appallingly bad.

There's so few weapons which are complete upgrades all the time, I think the only 1 really is the Falcon.

Thinking about it , i gotta agree on most you said, but the jackal is 100% better than the spinfusor. I have the feeling they wanted to make it kinda like a stickylauncher, but that you can make them explode in air makes it easier to aim than a spinfusor, you can set traps, insta kill mid classes with 1 burst and it has double the damage of a spinfusor. Exept for that the spinfusor doesn't have drop i see no reason not to use the jackal.

Alright good points you have a sweet one in the BXT1 because is far better for a chase. MIRV just overrides the backpedal when you are 1 to 1 against a jugger but the Jackal is by far and offensive weapon to the max. Hi-rez got in mind a defensive trap like the prism mines but better but they end with the jackal being a far versatile form of the ARX buster.

The skins are hideous as usual.
Why don't they make a skin that looks like a higher rank raider instead? That you buy one and get the BE and DS version? It would be so easy, stick some metal slabs on the armor, add a cape or whatever and PRESTO, there you have a higher ranked class skin. No, we get a doom guy and a space biker.

I mean, I like that they invest time adding mercenaries and stuff to add a level of depth to the narration, but what if I love BE and DS? And would like to see how a high ranked soldier look like? In my opinion alien races/mercenaries/hired assassins skins should come after higher rank BE and DS skins.
